this is pretty uch what is already on the system - the trouble then is that
people can then just login by using any account so long as the password
is the same value

eg 

hacker
hacker

they dont even need a valid account to actually authenticate.

what we need is for the X=Y to work for authorise and then
not give a damn about authentication - but, as said, looks like
we cannot distinguish between auth and auth (if you get what
I mean ;-) ) - if only we could send Service-Type from the device...
